Very nice, and I wouldn't call that a small collection, if you aquire more you will need a bigger board! When I first looked at your picture, the board made me think of cedar planks like those used for cooking salmon....

VERY NICE, Kerry.
There are Congress pattern pocket knives scattered all over AAPK.
But, there is a nice gathering of them here:

Thanks Skip! I check that one out a good bit. I figured since I had some newer ones scattered in I would use up some more server bandwidth!

toomanyknives,
Fine looking group!
Personally, I just warmed up to the Congress pattern the last few years. Still don't have but a few and I do realize that it gets expensive straying away from my old traditional EDC stockmen and trappers.

You inspired me to gather my Congress. I think I am kind of a fan.
